Help connect Wadhurst
Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Wadhurst’s Slow Ways.

Latest Updates
Once you reach the outskirts of Tunbridge Wells and cross the gold course, the route becomes residential along quiet roads. I had no access issues; however the route was extremely muddy, which made it difficult at times....

I recommend a slight route change where the route meets the A265 between Burwash and Etchingham as this stretch of road is quite busy and difficult to walk along....

I started at Wadhurst Station, some distance from the meeting point, but walked down to the beginning of Tapsell Lane (squirrels 7: traffic nil) so only missed reviewing the first km or so on a busy through the village. A shortcut to the route from the station is to join the SB Path from opposite "The Keys" a short way uphill from the station.. There are plenty of steep slopes up and down into the wooded valleys, green glowing moss, footbridges over rushing streams, oak trees so loaded with lichen they looked like freshly opened leaf buds from a distance, buzzards and rooks and ravens overhead, tiny lambs gambolling damply. Soon will be bluebells, wild garlic and wood anenomes. Please leave a comment if you find my glasses ;-). For others expect gates, stiles, many roots, steps of earth, plank, root and stone, wooden footbridges with muddy approaches, streams of water deciding the path looks like a good route for them too, 2 small non-bridged streams (strategic laid branches helped), mud and plenty of flowing water generally, muddy and somewhat slippery slopes plus a narrow, but scenic, small muddy ravine with stream and path unnervingly close together....

Walk this routeThis route is not possible because there is no public right of way between Barelands Farm (TQ608252) and Higham (TQ6109355). To make matters worse there is a large swathe of private land to the East of Frant which makes transit without going onto roads impossible....

We couldn't find a way to cross the railway track between Brookland Wood and Grigg's Wood. Had to turn back and walk along Bayham Road (50 mph with no footpath) to Bells Yew Green. Some of the footpaths suggested in this route are not on other maps or are marked as private....
At start of route in centre of Wadhurst, we took an alternative (shorter) route to avoid having to walk on pavement along main road to Sparrows Green/Turners Green....
